OUpaFaLlYe OIQef was feStOreQ. MI
sutherIin still held the floor and thl
recognition of the chair during thu
scene described but he yielded to th,
dishsyelled Mr., Scales after presenting
his resolutions. Mr.. Scales proposed
as substitute series of resolutions
complaining Of the action of the par
| ish executive committee in allowing
only white Democrats to vote, and re
lferring the election back to the wards
allowing negroes to vote.
After much discussion Mr.. ]. E.
Hewitt moved that Mr.. Scales snbsti,
tute be postponed, which was carried
by a largo majority. The sutherlin
resolution endorsing the action of the
parish committee was then adopted by
the same large majority, the Nichols
men still remaining and voting in the
mass meeting, including Mr.. Boiling
Williams. But that the Nichols men
might be thoroughly satisfied, and
Mr.. Scales insisting that his resolu-
tions had not been acted upon, they
were put to a direct vote and beaten
by a majority which Mr. Scales him
self acknowledged. The meeting then,
on motion of Mr.. Sutherlin, went into
the election of delegates to the State
Convention, who were elected by an
undisputed majority, though there
was still considerable shouting and
confusion in the crowd. The motion
to adjourn was put by the chairman
and carried, and 1t was not until the
crowd was dispensing that Mr.. Boil
ing Williams rose on the platform with
his proposition for another election of
delegates. Not 100 men remained to
take part in this proceeding, many of
Nichols adhereuts, who had partici-
pated in the regular meeting, refusing
to stay.
Taken as a whole, the action of the
boilers is but part of a cut-and-dried
program for a tlimsy contest with a.
view to the preliminary organization
of the State Convention. This action
on the part of Mr.. Boiling Williams
and his followers outlines the course
that the Nichollsites will doubtless
pursue from now until the State Con.
yention convenes; the object being to
prevent an organization Of the body
so that Gen. Nichols may be afforded
an excuse for going before the people
as a candidate for the Governor8hip
without being liable to the charge of
having bolted the regular nomination.

TIE New York Herald has exhib.
tied a great piece Of enterprise in the
interest of the people of the country
by exposing big swindling scheme
in Wall street, known as the Tretilitu
Gold and Silver Mining Company.
The company had succeeded through
clever advertising in getting itBelf be-
fore the public, but that paper sent
some mining experts to the alleged
mine in Arizona, who found it to be
regular ffhole-in-the-ground," not
worth working. Unfortunately the
vice-president and treasurer of the
exploded swindle was an ex-Louisian-
ian, J. Flovd King.

Opelousas Courier.

Opelousas Courier.
This community was startled and
astounded on reading an editorial In
the New Orleans Picagune, under
date of Nov. %, headed 'tEstillette in
St. Landry" and containing most
gratuitous and calnmnious insinua-
tions against the official character and
conduct of this gentleman. To say
that this attack is regarded as an
outrageous libel is but to feebly ex-
press the sentiment of the people of
this Judicial district, irrespective of
! political differences, who well know
that the entire article was inspired by
the most purblind and malevoIent
political Partisanship.
We do not propose to enter one
word of denial of such wanton
charges, as the character of Judge
EstiIette, as judge and as a man, is
too well known in this community to
require a defense at orr hands. Nor
do we propose at this time to enteI
the lists as the champion of the polit
zeal course of Judge Estllette in this
campaign, further than to say that
even his opponents have never gone
, 80 far as to charge him with politica
, dishonesty or hypocrisy. But wher
f paper such as the New Orleans Pic
Gyane so far prostitutes its functions
\ as to deliberately charge an honorei
member of the Judiciary with having
dragged the Judicial ermine in thu
: mire of politics." then, on the part o
: the people of this judicial district, WI
boldly call upon it to produce thu
e proofs of such alleged official dereIic
= ton.
\ Will the Picayune produce it
proofs, or will it by its silence Civ
the people of Louisiana to under
stand that journalism has now de
seended so low as to utter and pub
lish, for partisan effect, the baldest
and most unjustifable aspersions upon
even the judiciary Of our State

SPECIAL kilograms to Bradstreet'E
last week from leading business CEN
tiers show that while there has been u
moderate check to the volume of gen.
eral trade, there has been an excep-
tional advance in prices of most sta
pies in which there are speculative
dealings. Lard and hogs have been
affected by the strength of corn, and
sugar is strong on diminished supplies
abroad and outlook for reduced ag-
gregate yield. Cotton took full ad-
vantage of short crop estimates the
week previous, and has been steady
after a slight reaction.

SOME real estate spectators in St,
Paul, Mimi, recently laid out a new
addition TO that city, named two Of
the principal streets respectively
Grover and Folsom, and decided cor
ner lot at the junction of these two
streets to the President and his wife.
The President Immediately forwarded
a quit-claim to the parties, signed by
himself and wife, accompanied BY .
letter of declinatiou. The object of
the parties in conveying the lot was
too transparent, and the President
very properly refused to be an adver-
tising medium.

Editor Hewitt, Of the DeSoto Dem
oerat is a gentleman Of very pro-
nounced views, and usually expresses
them in language that has no uneer-
tam ring. He pays his respects to
the Shreveport Democrat in the fol.
lowing terse manner:
soATl YOUl KTTTENll
Our friend Pnckette, in the Shreve-
! port Democrat of the 10th instant, has
what he thinks is a heavy fling at the
Parish Executive Committee, of De-
Soto parish. Now all of our readers
know that we think mighty well of
Brother Puckette and are always
ready to make excuses for his numer-
GUS amusing, though harmless eccen-
tricities. We all know that when
Brother Puckette came to this State,
he came to fill a professorship in the
State Normal School, but that for
some reason, unknown to the public,
the Board of Trustees, appointed by
McEnery, by the way, iguratively
speaking, took him by the nape of the
neck and slack of the pants and sent
him headlong out of the institution.
Ever since that occasion Brother Puck
cite has been in that ever lamentable,
yea, sorrowful condition, of being q
man with that painful malady, "a
Grievance" As natural result, when
hesees anything that looks like McED-
cry may be reelected, and that SIM
liar board might be re-appointed, like
a mad bull at a red flag, he ''wades in
lemons" if he does get squeezed"
Now, we trust our Executive Com
mittee, and particularly our friend
Sutherlin, like we do, will make due
allowances for our afflicted friend.
Brother P. means well, but is some
what ratified by his sad affection, and
we particularly beg our friends, and
the swayback Democracy of the State
generally, to bear patiently with his
eccentricities, for he is harmless. If
he plays the clown occasionally, there
is no malice in his heart, and he is
only seeking little cheap notoriety.
Since the "Nicholls Boom" like a
busted bubble, has va nished into thin
air, we can afford to smile at him and
the other prominent actors in this
roaring farce. The "swaybacks," like
a darkey pulling the coon down out of
the tree, has "tail hold and a down
hill pull" and the Nichols boom is
bound to come down. Thereto re, we
again beg our friends to to smile upon
the frantic efforts of our friend Puck
cite, and to proceed on their way re-
joicing. Scat, you kitten, and let
the "swayback Democrats" of DeSoto
alone.

turned that way by the recent mys,
FERROUS disappearance of Mrs. Eve
Harrington, whose husband was a
victim in the Custer massacre, Major
Reno said: "Gen. Custer was not q

Nichols l7s 2-3. This year there
will be 45s delegates.

NUMBERED among the Performers,

NUMBERED among the Performers"
remarks the New Orleans States,
are great many men who are loud
in their declaration that their oppo-
sition to Gov. McEnery is based on
the fact that he has been in Office too
long, and yet these same men haVs
been office holders for years and are
still warming soft seats. The fact of
the matter is they have been in Office
50 long that, like twin hickory nuts,
the Offices and themselves have
grown together, and when they are
defeated maui and wedge will be
required to split the Office from the
man.

The BREAD OF LIFE.

In the New Testament the mama which
trained from heaven" and became food for
the Israelites is employed as figure of the
heavenly sustenance of the soul which is sup
piled by the Gospel, and is applied either to
the Eucharist or to spiritual life generally
Upon one occasion the Pharisees asked JE-
sUs for sign of his Messiahship, saying,
"Our fathers ate the mama in the wilder
ness; as it is written, He gave them bread
out of heaven to eat.'" Whereupon he de-
clared, 81 am the Bread of Life; he that COM
eth to me shall not hunger" John vi. 31-35).
He explained that the words which he spoke
and the truths they declared were spirit and
life-were source and nourishment of spirit
ual life. The Gospel is our bread from heav-
en-. Not only the words but the life of JESUS
furnish nourishment for the life of the world.
Our true life is in him. EvermCre give us
this breadp Let US feed ON him by faith
with thanksgiving"

On the sixth day of January, 1887, our be-
loved and faithful brother, Vincent Hutson,
ceased dying and departed for the immortal
home after a very protracted affiiction during
which he manifested truly Christian forti-
tude and resignation. He was born at Canal
Winchester, July IS, 1916. He removed with
his parents when he was about eight years of
age to farm near his late residence in Rey-
noldsburg, o. In consequence of his fathers
death, some four years later. he was left to
struggle and educate himself as best he could,
but by dint of his indomitable energy he
succeeded so well that he commenced school
teaching at the age of seventeen years, which
profession he pursued for twenty years. On
the 26th of January, 1912, he was united in
marriage with Miss Lucinda Cornell. To
them were born five children, three sons and
two daughters, all of whom, with their dear
mother, survive, and were present at his
funeral. Br. Hutson was prominent Uni
versalist, having united with our church in
that place at its organization forty years ago.
He served as postmaster fourteen years and
pursued the grocery business at the same
time. He was widely and favorably known
by his uniformly kind and Christian life,
generous, yes, even tender and sympathetic
spirit. Precious memories! On the Sunday
following his demise, the earthly remains
were deposited in receiving vault, where
they were left until the 18th day of April when,
after appropriate religious services by the
writer, in his old church, amid large assem-
blage of sympathizing friends, the body was
laid in its final resting place. "Blessed are
they that mourn for they shall be comfort
ed" s. P. CARLTON.
At the residence of Jasper Rand, Lew
iston, Idaho, Catherine d. W. Hutchings, be-
loved wife of Samuel P. Hutchings, aged 76
years, months and % days. She had an
unwavering faith that God would grant her
crown in another land. Mrs. Hutchings was
Presbyterian. At the approach of death she
fell into an unconscious slumber (''He giveth
His beloved sleepy and met death with
smile. She looked young again in death.
The peace that awaited her departing soul
seemed reflected and to rest in the calm
features of her sweet face; and the glory that
awaited her triumphant soul fingered on her
oountenance, SO placid and still in death.
Age should be in love with death! She leaves
a companion who is eighty-two years of age
and in the full possession Of his mental pow
ers. His son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rand, with whom she had lived for
several years, are Jealous Universalists and
loyal to the interests of our little church

At his residence. two miles east of Wood
stock, o., May IL. 1887, William R. Webb.
Br. Webb was born in Windbam county,
Conn.,, July 20, 1918. His parents, James
and Dolly Ripley Webb, removed to Cham
paign county, o., in 1921. In 1926 he went
to Connecticut to obtain an education, re-
turning to Ohio in 1885, and settling in CLARK
county. In 184l he was married to Miss Har-
riet M. Clark, who survives him. Seven
children were born to them. of whom three
daughters and two sons are living. Br.
Webb was man of fine physical appearance,
possessed a vigorous intellect, and naturally
attracted the attention of all who met him.
He was quite a student, and was well in
formed concerning all important facts and
events. He was man of strong convictions
and firm purpose, and his religious and po-
litical opinions were so clear and well defined
that all knew upon what platform he stood.
He was pronounced Universalist and loved
to discuss the precious doctrines of our faith.
For many years he was member of the
Woodstock church, and filed various posi-
tions in it with fidelity. He found his faith
good to live by, and it did not fail him as he
approached 1.-THE valley of the shadow of
DEATH" At my last visit to him, on a recent
Monday evening, he uttered words indicat-
ing his strong confidence in God as the Fa-
Their and eternal friend of all. His death was
by consumption, induced by severe attack
of pneumonia. His funeral services were
held on the morning of May 10, at the family
residence, and were attended by large con-
gregation of friends and neighbors, who thus
bore testimony to their respect to one who
had filed all relations of life with honor tc
himself and blessing to others. Those who
knew him best loved him most. At the ser
vices his fayorite hymns were sung and {
discourse was delivered by his pastor, from
Psalm xii. 4. May the blessing of the gooC
Father ever rest on the widow, children anC
friends. ]. w. HENLEY.
